This turkey meatloaf packs a punch with lean protein and essential nutrients, making it a weeknight staple and a serious crowd-pleaser.


Let’s Talk Protein for a Sec

Protein does more than help you “tone up.” It’s absolutely crucial for building and repairing tissues, supporting brain health, and keeping your mood and energy levels balanced. Why? Because amino acids (the building blocks of protein) help produce neurotransmitters—the messengers in your brain that keep everything running smoothly.

Here’s the problem: a lot of adults don’t get enough protein, especially those following trendy diets or cutting entire food groups.

That’s where this turkey meatloaf from Eat Clean 21 comes in. It’s made with two pounds of lean ground turkey, giving your brain and body the amino acids they need to fire on all cylinders.


🥕 It’s Not Just Protein—It’s Packed With Veggie Power, Too

This meatloaf is loaded with flavor and nutrients thanks to a dream team of garlic, onion, celery, and bell pepper. Here’s what each one brings to the table:

🧄 Garlic

Rich in vitamin C, B6, and manganese, garlic also delivers sulfur compounds that fight inflammation and act as antioxidants.

🧅 Onion

High in vitamin C, B6, and folate—and packed with quercetin, a flavonoid that calms inflammation and supports immunity.

🌿 Celery

Celery adds vitamin K, vitamin C, and potassium to the mix. Plus, it contains plant compounds that help protect against chronic disease.

🌶️ Bell Pepper

Loaded with vitamin C, vitamin A, and potassium, bell peppers bring brightness and antioxidants like carotenoids and flavonoids.

Toss in some ancient sea salt and a splash of coconut aminos, and now you’ve got a flavor-packed, nutrient-dense meatloaf that actually tastes amazing.


👩‍🍳 How to Make It

No complicated steps. No weird ingredients. Just simple, nourishing food.

Here’s how it goes:

  1. Mix all the ingredients in one big bowl.
  2. Pour the mixture into a greased loaf pan.
  3. Bake at 350°F for one hour.

That’s it. Boom. Dinner is served—and it’s healthy, satisfying, and so easy.
